Find your place. Build your future.

Campus life at Stellenbosch University is dynamic and diverse. Maties Sport and a variety of recreational programmes keep students active and connected, while student societies, cultural groups and social impact initiatives offer countless opportunities to explore interests, form friendships and develop leadership skills.

Whether you live in a residence, private student accommodation, or commute from home, clusters, peer mentors and commuter communities make it easy to settle in and belong.

We place student wellbeing at the centre of the experience – from counselling and academic support to financial aid advice and dedicated services for international students, you’ll find holistic support every step of the way.
